Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 569 An unexpected start but a tail end
Next is Jia Yucun, Xu Biao and others.

As an old man who has always followed Jia Rui'an, Jia Yucun's treatment is naturally no worse than that of Shen Wence, and he is divided into marquises by Jia Rui.

Xu Biao was a little worse. He was not named a marquis, but was only made an earl.

Next came some other old people, but these were not even read out in court, but just their names and titles. Then they went home and waited for the real imperial edict of canonization.

This set went very smoothly and it can be said that it has been rehearsed many times.

After that, Jia Rui cried a few times and said he was sorry to the late emperor.

And all the ministers came together to persuade them. Just when everyone thought the scene should be over, an old minister came out from the back.

Jia Rui didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the old man was here to persuade him and flatter himself.

But he didn't expect this old man to stand in the center of the hall, pointing his finger at Jia Rui and yelling curses.

"Shameless slave, despicable villain, the Supreme Emperor has been so kind to you, but I didn't expect that you would seize the inheritance of the Supreme Empress. How can you have the face to see the Supreme Emperor underground after your death?"

After hearing this, Jia Rui's face suddenly darkened.

However, Jia Rui did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Shen Wence next to him, and Shen Wence immediately understood.

Shen Wence took a few steps to the center of the hall and said softly to the old man: "Mr. Liu, this is not the place to talk now. I will go back first. We will chat together in two days, and I will explain to you the reason." ”

"Pooh."

A spittle fell on Shen Wence's face.

"Shameless slave, you follow others and help others to do evil. Do you think you are a good person?" Old official Liu also started to curse at Shen Wence.

Shen Wence's face now looked like the bottom of a pot, and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to tell the difference.

Jia Yucun, who was standing at the starting point, was not as good-tempered as Shen Wence. He came up and pointed at the old man and yelled:

"Old guy, you don't even look at where this place is. Are you the one who can cause trouble? I think you don't want the lives of the whole family."

The old man stiffened his neck and retorted: "It's just a matter of death. A clear name will be recorded in the history books, unlike you, who will be criticized by future generations of history books."

Jia Rui, who was sitting on it, was shaking with anger. Since the old man was so ignorant of current affairs, there was no need to be polite to him.

"Since you claim to be a veteran and loyal minister of the previous dynasty, I will ask you to go underground to meet the emperors of the previous dynasties and ask them who gave you the courage."

After saying this, Jia Rui shouted loudly outside the palace: "Where are the warriors in front of the palace?"

A dozen warriors wearing helmets and crowns rushed in immediately outside. As soon as they entered the hall, they knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Rui.

"Pull this old man out and beat him to death outside the Meridian Gate."

Following Jia Rui's words, the warriors rushed forward, grabbed the old man and dragged him out.

The old man was not afraid. Although he was too old and weak to resist, he kept talking.

"Haha, Jia Rui, aren't you afraid that the Supreme Emperor will find you when you sleep in the middle of the night? Please think clearly, this is a place where the Supreme Emperor has lived for decades, and he is more familiar with it than you are."

"Jia Rui, you will not die well, your dynasty will end."

This last sentence finally touched Jia Rui's back scale.

Jia Rui stopped pretending now and stood up directly and shouted:

"You traitor and treacherous minister, curse us now. Your crime will not be pardoned. You will be pushed out to be executed at Lingchi, and the nine tribes will be punished." Shen Wence was also anxious at this time, and said to the few warriors who were dragging out: "You are all fools, let this happen Old guy squirting?"

The warrior also understood. He raised his hand and struck Mr. Liu in the mouth, hitting the old man until his teeth flew out and he spit out blood.

But even so, the old man still muttered and cursed in an unclear voice.

But he was soon dragged out of the hall, and the sound slowly disappeared.

At this time, Jia Rui sat on the throne with eyes wide open, looking at the ministers standing below one by one with gloomy eyes.

The ministers below were so frightened by Jia Rui's eyes that they lowered their heads one by one, not daring to meet Jia Rui's eyes at all.

Fortunately, Jia Rui calmed down soon. He sat on the throne, said "Retreat" expressionlessly, left the Huangji Palace, and returned to the harem.

And the ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, they all look very frustrated. They didn't expect that this old guy would mess up a good thing.

Fortunately, the situation has passed, and the people below have received rewards, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

But there were still a few people below with somewhat gloomy eyes. They looked at the empty throne and didn't know what they were thinking.

Besides, Jia Rui returned to the harem angrily. This time he did not go to the Yangxin Palace, but went directly to the Qianqing Palace.

Jia Rui has long been famous for this palace of emperors of all dynasties, but when he was a powerful minister, he never set foot here for the sake of his reputation.

Of course, this is all because Jia Rui feels that he has maintained his reputation. In fact, his reputation has long been notorious. Everyone knows that he has "Sima Zhao's heart."

After Jia Rui entered the Qianqing Palace, his depressed mood instantly improved a lot. He was very satisfied when he looked at this majestic hall and the exquisite design inside.

Lao Li next to him was very knowledgeable. While introducing Jia Rui, he led Jia Rui to the side hall next to him. This is the main place where emperors usually handle official business or live in daily life.

Jia Rui saw that although no one had lived in the hall for a long time and seemed a little deserted, the furniture and furnishings inside were still spotless. Jia Rui sat on the kang with satisfaction.

He stroked the bright yellow accessories, feeling a little excited.

This is what I have achieved after so many years of struggle in this world.

Now that he thinks about the dilemma he was in when he first traveled through time, Jia Rui is still frightened. If it hadn't been for the help of Golden Finger, his bones would have turned into ashes by now.

Just when Jia Rui was thinking about it, Qin Shun came to Jia Rui's side and reminded him in a low voice: "Long live it's time for lunch."

Jia Rui finally woke up and felt a little hungry, so he nodded gently.

Qin Shun immediately went out to make arrangements, and soon prepared a large table for the emperor to dine in the outer hall.

Then the delicacies from the imperial dining room were delivered to the table one by one by the palace maid, and soon the whole table was filled.

At this time, Qin Shun and Lao Li helped Jia Rui outside and helped Jia Rui onto the throne.

Jia Rui sat there and looked down, only to see that the table was full of at least one hundred and eighty kinds of delicacies.

In addition to a table full of delicacies, there is also a separate table at the end, on which are placed eighteen kinds of figures or auspicious signs carved from various ingredients.

This last table is called the "viewing table".

This is also one of the things the emperor pays attention to when eating. The emperor's emphasis is to "eat once, look twice, look three times", and looking at the ingredients on the table is the so-called "looking" and "viewing".
